The final of the CX Break version appeared in 1985 and stayed on the market for six more years. It kept the original car's distinct appearance but changed the bumpers from chromed metal to plastic. Although this improved crash protection and shaved some kilograms from the total weight, the move wasn't that well received by Citroen purists, who thought that the car had lost some of its elegance. The biggest change was in the interior though, where the "pod like" center console was replaced with a slopping one. Considering the cars were first released in 1974, they had lost much of their appeal during the years.
